We're trying to name a baby girl in the next month or two (by April). One of my issues is that half the names I start to like have meanings that I don't like. I'm trying to avoid ideas like war, dominance, beauty, frailty, purity, and wealth.
I'd be interested in names evoking ideas of being grounded, kind, reliable, independent, compassionate, insightful... basically anything related to being a decent human being.
Let me know if this is too open ended, and I'll try to narrow it down. Thanks for any ideas! (Edit to fix line breaks.)
